Tara Joyce

Writer/Zinemaker

Tara Joyce is an independent San Marcos based artist whose work is primarily distributed through homemade zines when not scrawled on bar bathroom walls. She is a creator of the DIY-focused San Marcos Kitchen Collective where she shares her own satirical newspapers, clown cartoons, and short form literature. The Collective also facilitates the self-publication of authors and artists of varied backgrounds with a thrifted printer, pirated editing programs, and an inherited sewing machine.
